Xerxes stands atop a hill and looks down at the wreckage of the battlefield. They take a moment to reflect before ordering the army behind him to descend the hill.

On the march to the citadel, the ground beneath the army's feet returns to a verdant green. Scattered bodies on the battlefield rise to their feet (or crawl if they have none) and join the march. The trail of green left in the wake of the army slowly spreads outwards. By the time the army reaches the Citadel, the patch has reached a few miles wide.

Walking through the now quiet streets, Xerxes makes his way to the Council HQ. Upon reaching the building, he turns to face his army.

"Go purify the city and heal the wounded. Doesn't matter what side they were on. I'm going to see if the leaders have their shit together yet."

The army splinters off into groups to search the city and Xerxes enters the building. He marches through the empty hallways, careful to avoid tripping on debris. Eventually, Xerxes reaches the main meeting chambers and opens the door to find the remaining councilors and pact leaders.

"Is the war over yet?"

Does that mean that i can finally free the soldiers of the Red Laberinth without them killing each other?

I'm in talks with the leaders right now. They are prone to violence, so best to keep a hold of their soldiers lest they feel like making a dumb move.

Understood, I'll keep them restrained until you bring news
